OF  THE 

"Black  Horsemen." 

AIR-"  DIXIE." 

» ■>  — -»-» 

We  have  come  from  the  brave  Southwest, 
On  fiery  steeds,  with  throbbing  breast. 

Hurrah  !  hurrah  !  hurrah  in  Dixie's  land  ! 
With  sabre  flashing,  rifle  true, 
The  Northern  ranks  we  will  cut  through  ! 

Then  hurrah  for  old  Virginia  ! 
We'll  fight  for  old  Virginia  boys! 
We'll  die  for  old  Virginia  boys  ! 
Hurrah  for  old  Virginia! 

We've,  come  from  the  snow  clad-mountains, 
And  the  land  of  the  purest  fountains, 

Hurrah  !  hurrah  !  hurrah  in  Dixie's  land  ! 
Our  sweethearts  and  our  wives  conjure  us, 
Not  to  leave  a  foe  before  us  ! 

Then  hurrah  for  old  Virginia,  &c. 

Our  silken  banner  waves  on  high, 
And  we  will  fight  and  win  or  die  ; 

Hurrah  !  hurrah  !  hurrah  in  Dixie's  land! 
Our  gray-haired  sires  sternly  say, 
That  we  mnst  die  or  win  the  day  ! 

Then  hurrah  for  old  Virginia,  &c. 

On  the  21st,  'twixt  sun  and  sun, 
We  made  the  boasting  Yankees  run, 

Hurrah  !  hurrah  !  hurrah  in  Dixie's  land  ! 
I  tell  you  it  was  glorious  fun, 
To  see  their  rout  toward  Arlington  ! 

Then  hurrah  for  old  Virginia,  &c. 

And   now  we'll  march  on  Washington, 
With  Louisiana's  gallant  son, 

Hurrah  !  hurrah  !  hurrah  in  Dixie's  land ! 
And  drive  old  Abe  with  all  his  band 
Beyond  the  bounds  of  Maryland!
